My M109 under going a head gasket change that hopefully will be finished on Monday or Tuesday. I hope to soon start redoing the box into camper as well. You have to love Razer to getting people hook on the camper lol.

Yes, Ray is an inspiration for sure.

Pictures please

Here are a couple of more pics of the insulation, mobileauto2000. One of the cab back wall and roof, other of the firewall. Haven't done the floor or doors yet.

Is it self adhesive?

Is it self adhesive?

Interior no, engine compartment yes.

Your work encourages me. I have a Saganaw box off of a 1 ton Ford. Mine mounts on the inside, like the original.

Did I miss something? I didn't see where you were going to mount the pump.

Edit: Let me amend that question (after I went back through the photos) Where can I get just the pump?

Inside box mount would give you more tire clearance but might interfere with the IP. From what I've been told, it's a regular 5 ton pump.

That 2 inch receiver, where did you get that? Or was it home made? If you bought it retail what was the part number?

Ray sets the benchmark...

It actually is for a front winch on my '03 Yukon. Didn't need a winch on it, so took it off. Few years later got the 109, fits it well. Need to add more bolts. Just on with two as a test fit.

Here are a few snaps of my side flood and chassis flood lamps. Just some inexpensive 24v LED units. Have one on each end and two in the middle underneath for road side repairs and or if I get stuck on a log or something. Also have one over the spare tire and the fuel tank to aid in backing. one pic is of my remote wet air tank drain. I really like that add on. I installed an amber turn lamp on both front inner bumper ends for lane changing signalling. Just some cheap generic lamps. Also created a low buck emergency air cut off in case of a run away. Can't be used while driving, but good for a starting issue. Made a quick release for the intake mushroom, and have a piece of plywood chained near the air intake. I blocked off the fording vent on the rear of the filter housing. I can have the mushroom off and the wood in place in 4 seconds. With the engine rev'ed to around 2k I was able to drop the RPM down to 200. At that speed you can just stall it with the clutch. Sure smokes a lot though when doing that.

Been there, done that!

I like the light under the frame too Scott. You still need some of those neon lights like the rice cars have though!

 

[RAYZER]

I like it too!
But why stop with the neons?
Strategically place some intensity adjustable strobes!

Ah, thanks Ray, but NO!

And you Ray, you know better! Ha ha. I do have a traffic strobe on the rear frame, does that count?

 

[srodocker]

I like strobes. I want to add white and green strobes like volunteer fire fighters have. So can turn them on at shows.
